Sonia Quincy glanced at Felix Preston for his opinion. He thought for a moment and said, "I'm a bit swamped with work. I'll probably need another hour."
Fearing Mrs. Preston couldn't hear, Sonia repeated, "Felix isn't finished with his work yet. We probably can't leave the studio for another hour."
"That's fine." Mrs. Preston's voice sounded noticeably relieved. "Lawrence is running late, so you'll have plenty of time to get here after you finish your work."
Sonia nodded. "Alright, we'll head back as soon as we're done. Don't worry, Mom."
Mrs. Preston replied, "Alright, I'll be waiting for you at home."
After hanging up, Sonia clasped her hands behind her back and turned to walk into the office. "Let's power through! Once we're done, we can clock out early!"
Felix pushed up his glasses, his gaze following her back with adoration. "Alright."
